John Terry Stripped of England Captaincy / Ferdinand Replaces Him


Recommended Posts

[joke]

Capello's just phoned Wayne Bridge and said, "I've just spoken to JT and he's lost the captain's armband. Do me a favour and have a good look under your bed for me."

Ashley Cole was caught doing 104mph in a 50mph zone. When questioned by police as to why he was speeding he said, "l've just heard John Terry is parked outside my house."

[/joke]

Footballers are seen as role models to a lot of people in this country, I feel Capello has done the right thing, but I am not really sure that giving the captaincy from a sex case to a druggy is really the right way forward, but the truth is that there aren't a lot of other good candidates.

Football/soccer players are seen as role models here too, but people getting all bent out of shape that he had sex with a woman and calling for the dismissal of his team position is a bit whacked.

He will still play for the team, he just won't captain them. I agree with Fabio on this one, I feel role models should promote good behaviour, but I don't think it's a good message to convey to children that "it's OK to be a coke head as long as you don't cheat on your wife".

I don't get it?

How are these players still being considered for the captaincy if Terry was removed for what he did?

John Terry - Cheated on his wife with a team mates girlfriend.

Rio Ferdinand - Failed (missed) drugs test - never proven ... but still not captain material

Steven Gerrard - Assault, charges dropped even after conclusive video evidence shows him striking the man

Wayne Rooney - Cheated on his then Girlfriend, now wife with a prostitute.

Classic england team in my eyes. So proud of them :cry:

On a serious note, as long as they can get away with the mocking that will definitely happen each time Terry touches the ball, I think we'll do fine.

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
